The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 142
Episode 142’s
battle with Berserker was a hot topic among the public, but there was a part that intrigued me as well.
He reacted faster than usual, was braver, and seemed to want to bite me to the point where I was desperate.
good night.
I never hate this kind of fighting spirit. However, seeing him persevere to such a pitiful degree and remain so motivated until the end made me feel like I was a villain trying to destroy the world.
Is this an overreaction?
“I guess I have a broadcasting personality.”
After the fight was over, the wounds were treated with a restorative agent, and the chat window was hot until the broadcast was declared over. There was more chat than when it was first broadcast, and it was now difficult to discern with my own eyes.
Well, it goes up faster than most superhuman attacks.
After the broadcast ended, I dragged Berserker and crumpled him into a sleeping bag prepared on one side. Then Jin Se-jeong approached with a worried expression.
“Superman! “Are you okay, Berserker?”
“You’ll be fine if you rest for a few hours.”
“Oh my god! You made such a mess? Are you really okay?”
I guess he’s very worried because he’s stamping his feet.
I used my hands weaker than usual, but did other people see that?
Originally, even if I fainted, I knocked a few more times. The reason is because Berserker once pretended to faint and made a surprise attack.
I admired your determination to give me a shot.
So I remember hitting harder too.
“With the vitality of a superhuman, that level is quite possible.”
“ah! thank god.”
“No matter how severe it is, it won’t kill you.”
“That’s a real relief. “I thought something would happen as the confrontation became more intense…” It is
very rare for Jin Se-jeong to say something like this. Actually, I remember saying that the way to determine whether the broadcast that day was a hit or not was the speed at which comments were posted.
It was hard for even me to follow.
“Is it that much?”
“yes! sure! There has never been content in the history of broadcasting where superhumans fight sincerely. It was aborted due to various reasons, such as preventing the superhuman’s pride from being injured and concerns over national power leakage. In that sense, the battle between Superman and Berserker is literally super awesome! In particular, I was really impressed by Berserker’s fierce resistance not to be defeated. “Perhaps the image has changed drastically?”
“Could it be that much?”
“Maybe you’ll find out tomorrow when you see it.”
Jin Se-jeong said with a confident expression.
If you do that, you will have faith again.
Still, could it be that the image of a villain is washed right away like this?
What they regret, however, is that they would have made an astronomical amount of money if they had just added advertisements to this content.
Then, you can put an ad in the next couplet. If you donate the entire amount, wouldn’t it be good for the cause? Berserker can also give the image of contributing to society by dedicating his whole self.
Jin Se-jeong smiled happily at my words.
“Superman, you may come down now.”
Since when was I a disciple of Jin Se-jeong?
* * *
The next day, I was able to understand what Jin Se-jeong meant.
The article was full of stories about the battle between me and Berserker. There were many reactions not only domestically but also overseas, and they were all full of praise.
ah! It wasn’t a compliment between me and Berserker, but a story about our skills. Of course, there were many who expressed concerns about the villain’s appearance on a personal broadcast as well as the content of the confrontation.
But overall, the favorable reviews seemed to be overshadowed by criticism.
-I learned that this is truly the class of a superhuman. Wow, you’re not a real human?
-It showed what Another Class is. In particular, Berserker’s fighting spirit and bravery were overwhelming.
-Before the fight, he seemed like a professor you would see at a university, but he changed immediately after the fight, so I was almost bored;;
-He was really strong. I know it hasn’t been long since I became a superman, but my inaction was on a completely different level. Are we supposed to oppose these resources as villains and have them deal with them? Haha
– this really needs to be brought in as a superhuman. If you do not recruit Berserker, it will be a big loss for the country. At the very least, hostile positions must be liquidated and converted to a cooperative system.
-They say just treat me like a villain haha.
-I looked at the list of crimes and it didn’t seem like they were serious enough to be treated as a villain? They say it’s just a momentary mistake and they drag you in as a superhuman.
-Suddenly the rain is huge?
-The corruption superhuman Kim Young-hwan’s social group is clenching its teeth and pushing back against him haha.
-It’s top secret, but foreign countries have contacted him several times to bring Berserker.
-In the meantime, notice that there is no mention of Choi Jun-ho haha
-Oh, Choi Jun-ho is out of the question haha
-Who mentioned that ‘monster’ just now?
-What gave me goosebumps while watching Berserker fight was that Choi Jun-ho defeated him without even getting injured. This is truly ridiculous inaction.
-But you need to know that. ‘He’ said that subduing him was more difficult than killing him. You did a really hard job.
-The United States and the Superpower Alliance say they will grant level 9 to these superhumans.
-Are you so hot you want to die? Haha,
dozens of comments were being added every time there was an update.
Meanwhile, it was Jin Se-jeong who received unparalleled opposition.
Some comments say that we should never bring villains into society, but in this day and age, it’s all about what crimes they committed.
Berserker is well within the range that can be washed.
In the first place, it was not an era in which the distinction between superhumans and villains became more severe. I think there are more crimes committed by other superhumans than Berserker.
It seems that many people have realized that intention.
-Berserker is a superhuman who can compete against the 12 signs of the league and can even aim to reach the ranks of early teens in the future.
-Choi Jun-ho is trying to wash more than necessary? There must be a reason for everything.
-You’re going to wash away the past with just one sparring? This doesn’t seem right.
-Kim Young-Hwan’s reaction seems very interesting.
But why do you think you’ll just spar once and be done with it?
* * *
Several confrontations between Berserker and me were planned from the beginning.
Berserker’s villain image is too strong to wash with just one wash.
And to think that the majority will feel sorry for being treated harshly once seems to be asking for too much.
So a total of three sparring sessions took place over ten days.
People who thought it would only end once could not hide their surprise when the sparring continued two or three times.
Before we knew it, the chat window was filled with sympathy and support for Berserker.
Well, this is the picture that Jin Se-jeong expected. I did what I wanted too.
But why do they only support Berserker on my channel? Isn’t this a bit harsh?
Just looking at the reactions in the chat window, I was the villain and Berserker was the hero.
Anyway, Jin Se-jeong was smiling happily as she checked the indicators every day.
“With each confrontation, my sympathy for Berserker soars to the sky. “Look at this.”
Jin Se-jeong was checking public opinion on Berserker by conducting a public opinion poll himself.
“At the time of the first confrontation, only 24% of people were in favor of Berserker becoming a superhuman. However, as the battle continued, the second time the figure reached 36%, and today it reached a whopping 51%! “More than half of the people responded positively to Berserker’s joining.”
How can you record such groundbreaking numbers just by getting beaten up?
I thought it was really great.
No, it’s because Berserker is good at getting bullied. The grit and tenacity to fight back even after being beaten like that is not something that can be easily achieved.
“Then what should I do?”
“First of all, I don’t think there is a need to hastily reveal our intentions. Positive public opinion is on the rise and it needs time to mature. Above all, public opinion is currently focused on whether or not he will join as a superhuman. But how will it change if Superin Choi Jun-ho manages it?”
People will feel more at ease. What I’m worried about now is that the villain Berserker could get out of control and go on a rampage. Since I showed that I could clearly control Berserker in sparring, most people will be of the opinion that even if I become a superhuman, I can rest assured.
Did you even keep that in mind?
Jin Se-jeong nodded as if reading my thoughts.
“yes! “That’s what we’re aiming for.”
It’s a ghost.
“All right. “I will follow Team Leader Jin’s plan.”
“ah! And it could be one more troublesome thing.”
“What is it?”
“It is said that acquaintances of Red Snake Kim Young-hwan are planning to come forward. “To keep the superhuman in check.”
The connections of Kim Yeong-hwan, a corruption expert who was killed by Berserker, began to come forward.
You’re trying all sorts of strange ways to die.
* * *
“So you’ve finally caught the number of cases?”
The president sneered. Cheon Myeong-guk, who was next to him, nodded and expressed his agreement.
The other party still doesn’t know about Choi Jun-ho. He is a person who does not think of weaknesses as weaknesses and can take action at any time if the move is wrong.
“I heard complaints are pouring in from the chief secretary. Regardless of politicians, businesses, or citizens. “What do you think this means?”
“It’s a check on Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman abilities.”
“It’s ridiculous to think that it will still be kept in check.”
“Everyone’s imagination is free.”
“Well, even that imagination, if forced, would be dictatorship. Because I have no intention of becoming a dictator. But sometimes I feel like it’s too much. “There’s no way something like that would happen to Choi Jun-ho.”
The president clicked his tongue. I knew what they were thinking.
“There is nothing to mess with Choi Jun-ho himself. But I guess Berserker could be the weak link.”
“yes. “You may have thought that if you attack that loop, another way would emerge.”
Choi Jun-ho’s decision to bring the villain, who had reached the level of a superhuman, back into society gave rise to much controversy. Among them, aiming to reverse Berserker’s image through sparring content was definitely a refreshing method.
However, more than half of people still have anxiety and distrust that villains are socialized.
Vested interests linked to Kim Young-hwan’s close associates delved into this part. They believed that more than half of the public opinion would give them strength and tried to put Choi Jun-ho’s will through intense pressure.
He believed that if he could turn the tide, the majority would turn against him and attack Choi Jun-ho.
The pressure was felt even to the Blue House.
“Why did you think Choi Jun-ho would be influenced by public opinion? “Don’t you know yet that even if 99% of people are against it, you can still take action if you don’t feel like it?”
“Why don’t you look at it positively? That means Choi Jun-ho has adapted well to society. “All of this is the president’s credit.”
“This is the result of Director Cheon’s stomachache and Director Jeong’s accelerated hair loss.”
“Ah…”
As Cheon Myeong-guk sighed, the President also smiled.
That also briefly returned to practical difficulties.
“Among many requests, there are some that are difficult to refuse, right?”
“…yes.”
Kim Young-hwan is a superman who has protected the Republic of Korea for a long time. He became a superman and established strong roots by colluding with vested interests for as long as he belonged to the country. It did not discriminate between the political and business worlds and was present in both the ruling party and the opposition party.
Here, he formed connections in large guilds, and among them was Cheon Myeong-guk’s teacher.
“Me too. “Even my senior, to whom I depend politically, even said this.”
It was also a limitation of Korean society.
The President laughed bitterly.
“In a short period of time, public opinion about Berserker was halved. If one decisive number is added to this, it will tilt in favor. The moment Choi Jun-ho showed that he could control Berserker, the outcome was decided. However, the problem lies with those who thought this was an opportunity. Or rather, it might be bait to catch them.”
I remember what Jin Se-jeong said.
Idol fans jump into a place where all kinds of insidious schemes are rampant without expecting compensation. If you are trained there, the idol’s theory of everything will become entrenched in your mind and you will gain the ability to respond to any maneuver or trick.
It was Jin Se-jeong who stood at the top of that world. If she was in charge of laundering Berserker’s image, she couldn’t just sit by and watch things that could be used as excuses.
Especially as long as there is a decisive weapon named Choi Jun-ho.
The President clicked his tongue.
“I plan to ignore my senior’s request.”
“I will follow too.”
It was difficult to ignore such a tightly knit social request, but the pair made a decision.
Subsequently, a strong warning was issued to personnel belonging to the Blue House. Refuse all content related to Choi Jun-ho and Berserker. In fact, since it was an order from the president, who even took control of the ruling party and had a solid approval rating, everyone accepted it obediently.
After a while, Cheon Myeong-guk looked at the request form brought by the secretary and closed his eyes.
“What but?”
“This is a request from the superhuman Choi Jun-ho. “The President’s decision just now was correct.”
“It looks like it moved.”
“I want you to tell me about the corruption of Red Snake Kim Young-hwan.”
“…The living must live. “Let me know.”
“yes.”
The President and Cheon Myeong-guk smelled the strong scent of blood from Choi Jun-ho’s request.
* * *
Berserker needs to spar with me some more.
His presence has been very bothersome these past few days. The media’s tone was critical of the villain’s re-entry into society, and wherever he went, the number of people asking for comment on this increased.
Of course, it is not a natural flow. In personal broadcasts, foreign viewers argued that Berserker was a villain with a very good past and that if he were to join in as a superhuman, he should be brought in by promising various benefits.
It was the same for viewers. It seems like most people have favorable views on me, but wouldn’t Berserker be useful as a villain cleaner?
Moreover, he hunts monsters quite well.
However, the media was obsessed with some flaws.
“It is related to the Red Snake Kim Young-hwan.”
Jin Se-jeong also used his own network to convey this information to me.
When I asked him how he knew, he said that Shinsung Group secretly delivered it to him. Lee Se-hee helps me even though she is in Kaesong.
By the way, the red snake is Kim Young-hwan.
He was an old man who went on a rampage without knowing that his skills had declined. I remember he was senile, but if he had figured out his subject, he wouldn’t have been so rampant on the front lines.
He was an entity that was erased from my memory when he was killed in an absurd manner by Berserker. Because superhumans without skills exist everywhere.
But with things going on like this, there’s no need for me to stay still.
So I requested information from the Blue House. It is about the people who formed the cartel along with Kim Young-hwan’s corruption.
If you try to use Berserker as an excuse to create an opportunity, I can just use this situation as an opportunity.
It was when I briefly stopped by the Blue House to receive information.
Reporters seemed to have known I was coming and rushed at me like a swarm of bees.
“Superman Choi Jun-ho! “I’d like to hear what your stance is on bringing back the villain Berserker!”
“Don’t you think the citizens will be anxious?”
“Or should I assume there is some other intention?”
It seems like you’re already writing your own novel in your head.
I had the image of a reporter asking a blatantly negative question engraved in my mind.
“First of all, Berserker is classified as a villain, but he has not committed any evil deeds that would make him an actual villain.”
“But Berserker is a villain who killed a superhuman belonging to the Republic of Korea!”
It looks like he is trying to improve Kim Young-hwan’s image at the same time.
At first glance, it seemed like it was being broadcast live.
While researching, I came up with some interesting information.
“What if that superhuman turned Berserker into a villain?”
“yes?”
Not only the reporters who asked questions but also the gathered reporters were in an uproar.
Actually, it’s a story that even the person involved didn’t know about.
“Red Snake Kim Young-Hwan did not want to have a competitor. Berserker was a promising awakener and had a high chance of becoming a superhuman. Kim Young-hwan was concerned that his vested rights would be invaded, so he planned to prevent Berserker from becoming a superhuman. “Many promising awakeners have been ruined, and Berserker is one of them.”
“….”
Shock spread at my words.
It will have to be that way.
In fact, there were many awakened people who were ruined by Kim Young-hwan’s hands.
There were quite a few promising people among them, so I added a spoonful of MSG to them to prevent them from becoming superhumans.
Raising suspicions and creating public opinion is not the exclusive domain of reporters.
Ah, the Berserker story was real.
The reporter who first defended Kim Young-hwan shouted.
“That is an action that tarnishes the reputation of the superhuman Kim Young-hwan!”
“What if I discredit you?”
“yes?”
“What honor is there in a superhuman who committed corruption to take advantage of his share and died because he was lazy in developing his own skills?”
If you really wanted to become a respected superhuman, you would have accepted your limitations and found ways to contribute in other ways.
Gomyeonghak was a representative example.
The word “honor” should not be used when referring to a person who refuses to let go of his gains until the end.
I may have said that because there was a different purpose in the first place.
“Can defending a corrupt superhuman be seen as taking a part in the cartel established by Kim Young-hwan? “What is your affiliation and name?”
“….”
The reporter’s face turned white as he objected to my gaze.
“Or else.”
But I think I received it.
I turned my attention to the camera that was broadcasting live.
“I’ll say it again, Kim Young-hwan threw a straw at the country and committed corruption for his own ambitions. It is clear that he was a corrupt person, and it is also true that he did not hesitate to use any means possible to eliminate his competitors. “He neglected to hone his skills to pursue his own interests, so he was killed by Berserker, whom he had been controlling in the past. It is a shame that a superhuman died because he was weak.”
How are you positioning yourself as a respectable superman when the subject is dead due to lack of skills?
More than anything.
I have never once thought of Kim Young-hwan as my senior.
I’ve never had a senior like that.
“The person who left behind a cancer in society is not a superhuman who deserves respect, but a corrupt superhuman with many corruptions that need to be uncovered.”
If you don’t know, you should tell me.
“I will let you know that from now on.”
Kim Young-hwan made a lot of money.
